(Associated Press) British police say they’ve arrested five people linked to a video of self-proclaimed Muslim vigilantes threatening revelers on the streets of east London.

One of the videos shows a group shouting anti-gay slurs at a man in dark eye makeup. Other videos show a group accosting a drink-toting man, shooing a non-Muslim couple away from a mosque and harassing a young woman in a miniskirt.
